If there is a suspicion of increased radiation exposure, there are various ways to determine it. One possibility is biological dosimetry, which can be used to estimate the level of individual radiation exposure. In the video, Dr. Ulrike Kulka explains how radiation exposure in humans can be biologic
Recent research suggests that some exposure early on to peanut products might be helpful in reducing the risks of later peanut allergies. If you're allergic to peanuts, or have a child that's allergic, you'll know how serious a condition it is. For years, parents have been advised to keep infants
Wherever we are, we are exposed to radiation. Sometimes we feel them, often we don't even notice them. People have always lived with natural radiation. Radiation has an effect on people and their health. But how exactly does it work, when and how do you have to protect yourself? The Federal Office f
Tim's sister Vicky works in radiation research. She shows him where we encounter radiation everywhere - and what it actually is. #strahlenschutz #strahlung #radioaktivität #radioaktiv #uv #mobilfunk #handy #röntgen Original: "Federal Office for Radiation Protection" Original: German. All translat
Is someone in your life draining your energy? Perhaps you’re always leaving feeling exhausted or in a worse mood than before. How do we know whether someone is a lifelong friend or someone we need to avoid at all cost? Well to help you out, here are a few types of people you should avoid at all cos
Our sun. Its radiation provides light and warmth and thus promotes wellbeing. But the sun's ultraviolet radiation can also be harmful to health. Original: “Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz” Original: English. All translations in this video have been done by alugha AI.
Our stationary probes measure the local dose rate at a specific location around the clock. So we always know how much it is radiating at that place. But in order to determine what is radiating there - i.e. which substances - we need a different kind of measurement. We carry them out at regular inter

Wi-Fi, power lines, smartphones – electromagnetic fields accompany us in everyday life. What do people think about the dangers? What do they want to say to those responsible? The Federal Office for Radiation Protection asked people about this in 2019. Here are their answers. Original: "Federal Offi
A high dose of radiation can damage the human organism or even lead to acute illnesses. Even years or decades later, so-called stochastic radiation effects can occur, which can often result in cancer. In the video, Dr. Maria Schnelzer explains how radiation affects humans and explains the health con
How do you work out how safe or dangerous a chemical or some other substance is? This week's Risk Bites takes a look at chemical safety, and estimating health risk from chemical exposure. This week's Risk Bites team: David Faulkner (post-production) Andrew Maynard (all the other stuff) Risk Bite
Radiation is everywhere, it always surrounds us. In some places, however, more than in others. What does it look like in a marketplace, for example? Vicky and Tim are out and about in the city and explain to us what kind of radiation they encounter and where there are risks - and where there are not
